What TEVEA International does

TEVEA International SA is a Paris-based tax consulting firm founded in 1984 that specializes in fiscal representation for non-resident property owners and international companies conducting taxable transactions in France. The company is permanently accredited by the French Tax Administration (DGFIP) under Article 244 bis A of the CGI to serve as the official tax representative for non-residents selling French real estate, a legal requirement that constitutes its core regulatory license. Its service offering centers on end-to-end handling of property capital gains tax — calculation, declaration (form 2048-IMM), tax payment guarantee, and post-transaction administration for three years — alongside advisory services for complex cases involving works deductions, successive ownership fractions, and corporate restructurings.

TEVEA operates from its Paris headquarters and a regional office in Antibes (covering the Rhône-Alpes and PACA regions), supported by a multilingual team of approximately 30 tax specialists led by CEO Patrick Brenelin (ESSEC, INSA Lyon) and Partner Cyrille Konter (HEC), the latter having also been admitted as a tax lawyer at the Hauts de Seine barreau in 2025. The firm supplements its advisory services with proprietary web tools, including the free EasyPVI capital gains calculator (www.easypvi.fr), which generates Cerfa 2048-format outputs, and the tevea-rf.com portal aggregating French tax references, Bofip links, and international tax treaties. Until May 2025, TEVEA also operated TEVEA RF Consulting as a fully owned subsidiary handling international VAT compliance across 31 countries; that entity was divested to VAT IT Compliance (VATIT group), and TEVEA International now focuses exclusively on real estate capital gains.

The business model is professional services on a quote-based, multi-year contract basis, with revenue generated per transaction and supported by post-transaction compliance retainers. The firm distributes through direct B2B sales, white papers and educational content marketing, an active LinkedIn presence, and recurring participation at the Congrès des Notaires de France (exhibitor stands D46 and F12). TEVEA reports annual turnover of approximately €5M, operates with €3M in share capital, and holds a board seat at the International VAT Association (IVA). It is independently owned by management with no disclosed private equity or venture capital backing.
